Aloo tikki

1. Cook your potatoes as per your preference (boil, steam, roast, microwave etc). Refrain from over-cooking the potatoes if you are steaming or boiling them.
2. Once cooked, peel and mash the potatoes

3. Add the rest of the ingredients (except the egg and oil for frying) and mix in, making sure to evenly distribute the spices. Don't be afraid to use your hands!
4. Form 6 equal cutlets (tikki) from the potato mixture

5. Refrigerate for a few hours. This step is optional but it helps the cutlets firm up and prevents them from breaking during the flipping process when cooking

7. Dip each cutlet into the egg mixture and place on the pan. Allow to cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Gently flip and let the other side cook, again for approximately 5 minutes. You may need to adjust the flame if you find the cutlets are browning too much or too little.

serve as side dish or just on its own with raita.
